Survivalcraft goes to version 1.1 and gets major new features

All right you Minecraft addicts, it's time for it to start: your presumably regular updates to your favorite clone, Survivalcraft. The Minecraft-inspired game came out about two weeks ago and the developer is already bringing out a significant update which features many user-requested changes and additions aka the best kind of fixes!

In v1.1 you can now get the following:

Torches, lamps and improved lighting system

Configurable controls sensitivities and autojump

Configurable brightness

Recipaedia, an encyclopaedia of all crafting recipes

Many more new tools

Many more crafting recipes

More minerals to find and mine

Tools now wear out and break

Craftable chest to store your items

Sleeping and changing respawn point

You can now save a screenshot to pictures library

We admit: we haven't jumped on the Minecraft wagon yet, but we may just have to with Survivalcraft. The game fetches for $1.99 with a free trial and you grab it here in the Marketplace. Thanks, Daniel J., for the tip!

Play Minecraft and decide. Same thing I tell people about Windows Phone. It's a lego-type game. The newer releases do have some challenges placed before the player, but building is essentially the focus.

I was skeptical getting this game when it first came out, the lack of info on crafting was one of the reasons....as well as the 2 minute free trial lol.
Might grab it now though, these updates seem to make it more complete.
